MOW3SAY, APKXL 5 The Famous Hal Chase “THE FIRST COW IN THE LAND.” There appears daily on the white house lawns a splendid specimen of Jersey cow which grazes around the disused tennis court, and hathes itself in the sunshine throughout the after noon while passersby look on with astonishment. ‘‘Why, that’s the First Cow in the Land,’’ says the policeman on duty at the gate, ‘and entitled to all the cour t.esy*and respect which we policemen can shower upon her. She belongs to Mrs. Taft, just purchased from Lieut. Gen. H. C. Corbin, and we have or ders to give her carte blanche and entree to the most exclusive spots she can select out here to graze on.” The cow was purchased by Mrs. iaft in order that the president’s fam ily may be provided with milk that is scruplously sanitary under all con ditions. In the daytime the coif will graze on a section of the white house lawn near the stables, where Mrs. Taft can see it from the window any time she ehooses. The strictest care will be given to hygienic conditions at the white house and Mrs. Taft believes that pure milk is one of the first and most import ant essentials. Having the cow spend its time in the stable or on the green lawn adjoining it is part of the plan to insure the cow a healthful routine of daily life. —Washington correspon dence Baltimore Sun. DO BRILLIANT MEN ADMIRE BRILLIANT WOMEN? By ELBERT HUBBARD A correspondent aeks me this: “Do brilliant men admire brilliant wom en?” First disclaiming the gentle assump tion that I am brilliant, I say yes. The essence of marriage is com panionship, and the woman you face across the coffee urn every morning for 99 years must be both able to ap preciate your jokes and sympathize with your aspirations. If this is not so the man will stray, actually, or else chase the ghosts of dead hopes through the graveyard of his dreams. Prettiness palls unless it is backed up by intellect. The merely clever woman is nearly as bad as the clove" man. AT! these people who carry most of their goods in the show window are headed for jobs at the button count er. By brilliant men is meant, of course, men who have achieved brilliant things—who can write, paint, model, orate, plan, manage, devise and exe cute. And, by the way, an executive is a man who decides quickly—and is sometimes right. brilliant men are but ordinary men, who, at intervals, are capable of bril liant performances. Not only are they ordinary most of the time, hut, often at times they are dull, perverse, prej- Scholarships We believe in High-grade Work; Thorough Instruction; Efficient Bookkeepers and Ste nographers. In our Commercial Depart ment, we teach Practical Book keeping from start to finish. Our Penmanship is not sur passed In Georgia. We teach the famous Chartier System of Shorthand. A Sys tem so simple that a child can learn It, can write it, and, best of all, can read it. It can be written faster and read better than any other system in the world. The very fact that it can be learned with so much less study than Is required for other sys tems, gives our students twice the time for Typewriting, Let ter-Writing, Spelling, and all those subjects that are absolu tely necessary for a practical business success. Business men of Augusta are beginning to appreciate this and are sending to the Moss Busi ness College for their office beflfc ’ Day and night sessions.

However, they are sometimes right, and this is bet ter than to be dead wrong al! the time. So here is the truth: Your ordinary man who does the brilliant things would be ordinary all the time were it not for the fact that he is inspired by a woman. Great thoughts and great deeds are the children of married minds. When you find a great man playing a big part on life’s stage you’ll find in sight, or just around the corner, a great woman. Read history! A man alone is only half a man; it takes two to make the whole. Two is the sacred number; not three. Ideas are born of parents. Now life never did, nor can, cons: ' in doing brilliant things all day 1 Before breakfast all men are rogu And even brilliant men are brilliant only two hours a day. These Bril liant moments are exceptional. Life is life to everybody. We must eat, breathe, sleep, exercise, bathe, button our clothes, and lace our shoes. We must be decent to folks, agreeable, to our friends, talk when we should and be silent when we ought. To be companionable—fit to live under the same roof with good peo ple—consists neither in being pretty nor clever. No man can love a wom an long if she does not help him carry the burden of life. He will support her for a few weeks or pos sibly years, then if she doesn’t show a disposition and ability to support him, her stocks drop below par. Robert Louis, the beloved, used to tell ■something he called "Charm.” But even his subtle pen, with all its witchery, could not quite describe charm of manner—that gracious per sonal quality which meets people, high or low, and sends them away bene fited, bleesed and refreshed. EUen Terry, turned CO, has it. The Duse, homely, positively homely in features, rests her chin in her hand and looks at you and listens in a way that captures, captivates and brings again the pleasures of past years. I am encouraged and delighted when I think of how women everywhere are learning to work—work with head, hands and heart —-preparing themselves to be fit companions of men who are to do brilliant things. The work of women’s clubs has been of vast benefit to men, for it has cat them out a pace. Woman is no longer a doll, a plaything, a teddy bear; she is the intellectual coir,pan ion of the man and he must prepare himself to be her companion and help meet. There is no sex in soul. Men and women must go forward hand in hand—single file is savagery. A brilliant man is dependent on a woman, and the greater he is the more he needs her. The onlv man who has no use for a woman is one YANKEES PLAYING 1 AUGUSTA 'TODAY Some of Most Famous Players in the World. Are Here With Stallings’ Ag gregation. Monday afternoon Augusta fans will see for the first time in many seasons a game between the Tourist 3 and a team which includes some of the most famous baseball players in the world today, the New York Am ericans. The George Stallings’ aggregation blew in Sunday. The men are in fine fettle. They spent the day out doors, riding, driving and strolling. They are registered with Duke Far rell, second in command. Stallings is expected Monday. For the altogether reasonable ad-, mission fee of 25 cents, any fan in Augusta may see Willie Keeler play right field, and Kid Elberfield play third base. That alone is worth the price. But wait. Clyde Engle, one time left fielder for Augusta, who Is now a member of the New York Am ericans, will be seen at his old posi tion in the outer garden. Kleinow will catch. Just a few. these are, and the rest of the bunch is equally famous. Augusta fans are not by anv means unacquainted with the appear ance of a major league baseball ag gregation on the field. Every spring for many years one aggregation or an other from the big circuits lias train ed here. But never New York, and with the possible exception of the Detroit Tigers, no team has been seen here in recent years with such a bril liant collection of baseball talent. The fact that George Stallings, himself an old Augusta hoy, is now at the head of the Ban Tohuson organiza tion, will add another touch of in terest to the game. It is learned with regret that Hal Chase will probably he out of the game. Last week he suffered a spiked ankle, and now he has a touch of malaria. Wherefore in all prob ability Laporte will play first base. However, the great and only Hal will be on the field in uniform, to warm up, and thus fandom will not be whol ly deprived of a glimpse at his peer less methods. The probable line-up of the two teams is as follows: Hemphill, center field. Keeler, right field. Laporte, or possibly Chase, first base. Elberfield, third base. Engle, left field. Ball, second base. Knight, shortstop. Lake, Hughes and Manning, pitch ers. Kleinow and Blair, catchers. Augusta. McLaurin, left field. Bierman, shortstop. Coles, center field. McMahon, third base. Hornhorst, first base. Smith, right field. Castro, second base. Carson, catcher. Hannifan and Barrett, pitchers. ‘Kid’Elberfield The great short-stop of the New York Americans, who will play at Warren Park Today. who is not all there—one whom God has overlooked at the final inspec tion. The brilliant man wants a wife who is his chum, companion, a “good fel low,” to whom he can tell things he knows, or guesses, hopes; one with whom he can be stupid and foolish; one with whom he can act out his na ture. If she is stupid all the time, he will have to be brilliant, and this will kill them both. To grin and bear It Is gradual dissolution; to bear It and not grin is death. We are all just children In the kin dergarten of God, and we want play fellows. If a woman Is pretty I would say It is no disadvantage unless she is v THE AUGUSTA HERALD MANY PICNICS TO BE ftT LUKE VIEW Several Sunday Schools Have Already Takeu up the Matter with the Park Authorities. Indications are that the approach ing summer will bring a greater num ber of picnic parties to Lake View park than ever before. The manage ment starteu out with the determina tion of taking everything of this kind within a radius of fifty miles of Au gusta, and unless all signs fail, they will come pretty near the mark. Quite a number of dates have been arranged already, some definitely and others to be closed within a few days. On May 7 the Methodist and Bap tist Sunday schools of Hephztbah will picnic at Lake View. Practically all arrangements have been made. The children will come to Augusta in spe cial passenger coaches over the Au gusta Southern railroad under the ehaperonage of Mr. U. B. Frost, and special cars will take them to the lake. The Hephzibali picnic Is always one of the biggest outing events of the year. A large crowd attends, a sumptuous feast Is served and many Augusta friends are invited. The St. John Methodist Sunday school will hold their annual picnic at Lake View' on May 14. Mr. A. H. Merry is chairman of the committee on arrangements, and preparations are already being made. Special cars will leave Jackson street at 9:30 a. m. After the outing special cars will take the party on a jaunt around the belt. On May 15 the Langley Methodist Sunday school will picnic at the lake. Special cars will be provided for their accommodation. The St. Matthew Lutheran Sunday school will hold their annual outing at Lake View on May 12, under the direction of Mr. George H. Gercke. The management stales that quite a number of big amusements will be put on at the park in addition to the regu lar features. MANY TAX PAYERS THRONG CITY HALL Rush to Pay City Taxes is Looked on as a Good Sign. City tax payers made a rush on the office of the city treasurer Monday morning, and for several hours Mr. Harry Morris had his hands full. Taxes are being turned In much more promptly than usual, which is always regarded as a good sign. City taxes are paid by a system I hat is very convenient. Half must, be paid between April 1 and 20, a quarter between July 1 and 20, and Ihe remaining quarter between Octo ber I and 20. If a property owner wants to pay all his tax in April, he is accorded a discount of one per cent. However, full payment is not compulsory, though he must pay half, for if such a payment is not made the full amount for a year becomes due, plus a penalty of 10 per cent. MANY CASES IN ORDINARY’S COURT Monday was regular court day with Ordinary Walton. The following Is part of the business transacted dur ing the day: In the estate of .1. H. Lowery, let ters of administration were granted to H. K. Lowery. In the estate of Robert Mack let; ters of administration were granted to Phillip Mack. In the estate of Emma W.

The will of T. S. Danforth was pro bated in solemn form, letters testa mentory were granted to Jacob Phln- Izy and Geo. W. Wright. NAMES OF BUSINESS MEN IS WANTED Secretary Johnson, of the Chamber of Commerce, is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Charles Hall Davis, chair man of the executive committee of the Southern Commercial Congress, requesting that he he furnished with a list of the leading merchants and business men of Augusta. Mr. Davis purpose Is to send them copies of the Washington Herald of April 4, In which appears a very full account of a dinner given to Mr. John M Parker, president of the congress. In Wash ington on Maaieh 15. The aim of this distribution of the papers Is to Inter est Augusta business men In the work of the congress. able to forget It. But plainness of features does not prohibit charm of manner, sincerity, honesty and the ability to be a good housekeeper and a noble mother. There are many degrees of brllllan cy, but as a general proposition this holds: A brilliant man wants a wife who is Intellectually on his wire—one who, when he rings up, responds. This is PARADISE!
